TASTING NOTE: The 2024 vintage recalled the perfection of 2020 and was one in which Bordeaux red varieties shone exceptionally bright, which is great news for this wine. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, it's a complex rosé with consistent pear, plum, apricot and vanilla. It will reward some ageing and has the potential to evolve through 2029.
